Genuine question here for PG. Obviously scraping email addresses is a very common practice, but I was not aware that email content can be scraped, and I’m not quite sure how, if the email is properly protected with secure passwords etc?
I think the potential risks of posting pictures of children on social media are well known, but I had assumed that it was quite safe to send email images? Is this not the case?
Yes scraping is very common, for this reason I have an email address that does not contain my name that I use to subscribe/shop etc.
My other email address that does contain my name I only use for correspondence with NHS, legal, banking etcetera.
The email content is safe so long as the password is strong.
I always use Gmail, if anyone tries to sign into your account you get sent a notice immediately, you can then report it and change your password.
The email address I set up for my granddaughter has never been used to shop or subscribe and has a very high strength password so is safe.
